Welcome to the Original Disney Pixar Blog Hop! A special shout out to Shawn from MyCutSearch for organizing and making this hop outstanding!

Did you hear that there is a Grand Prize for one lucky Winner? Yes there is! The grand prize is a ScrapN Easel-Ette! I have the ScrapNEasel and I absolutely love it!

If you arrived here from Amy Chomas, then you are in the right spot! She has some amazing pen holders and other accessories. Be sure to check them out. If you arrived here first, after you see mine then head over to Shawn because you do not want to miss any of the projects.

I created a banner with the Mike's from the Cricut cartridge Disney/Pixar - Best of Pixar. They were cut out at 3 1/2 inches.

I used some stampin up colored cardstock and patterned cardstock from cosmo cricket.

For the banner, I used the cricut cartridge All Mixed up. I also, used it to cut some circles on Mike's background.

I picked up some green tule to string up the banner.

Doesn't Mike just look so cool! When you go to Disney World, be sure to check out his show.

I'd like to say that the spikes were cut on the cricut but, I actually hand cut it.

Be sure to enter for your chance to win the grand prize of a choice of a ScrapN Easel-Ette or Scrap'N Easel! Thanks Marlo for the donation! Also, a drawing for a bow maker! wow! Be sure to check out the details on Shawn's blog, if you haven't yet.

If you love to craft like I do, be sure to check out Blitsy often for amazing deals! I love saving on crafting items and it helps the budget or at least gets you more for your money. They have new items three times a week and I've ordered from them a number of times.
